The first big snow

Well the weatherman/woman is forcasting 6-10 inches of snow here over the next couple of days followed by cold weather.

I dug out the snow blower this afternoon and fired it up just in case. I wonder which Kansas FTE'er gets the most snow.

Please please please send it my way! I have everything done to the truck that I wanted to get done before it snowed. Got new wheels/tires, tow strap,quarters rhino lined, oil changed. Now I'm ready to go play in it.

We have less than an inch here. Last I heard it was going to hold off til Monday for this area. I could swear it's Sunday morning right now???

They shift motor for the transfer case is out on the f150. The clutch is out on the BII. Guess I'll be yelling curse words at 4x4's as they go flying by me till I get something fixed.

nothing here so far, and as far as I am concerned, with the cold weather forcast we can just keep skipping it. It won't be going away soon enough.

We have a little tiny scattering of sleet on the deck. That's it so far. Nice and gloomy looking outside though.

Nothing here in A-town yet, actually hoping for a good dumping of snow. I'm still in vacation mode from Christmas/New years and want another day off!

We had about in inch last night. I was in Topeka today. Looks like they didn't get anything.

The weather man says we could have 6-8 when it's said and done. If I was smart i'd crawl under the f150 and get her in 4wd before it starts snowing. But I'm feeling kinda dumd.
